Parting ways with my 2007 BMW 328iT in the exceptionally rare 6 speed manual and RWD pairing. I have owned the car for a year and 12,000 miles- I’d keep it longer, but a recent move and different priorities unfortunately forces me to sell.

Some highlights:
- Lifelong west coast car with zero rust. - Completely stock, zero modifications. - 1/429 RWD manual transmission E91s produced for the US market over a five year production run (2007-2012).
- 1/1 Crimson Red over tan w/ sport package (+ all of the above).
- Amazingly well specced- Logic 7 Sound, Cold Weather Package, Xenons, sport package, comfort access, AND flat dash with no iDrive.

The car drives great- all E91/N52 related maintenance handled in the last 15-20K miles, including oil filter housing gasket, oil pan gasket, and valve cover gasket. Oil change done in the last 5K miles. Car drives very well, above average for a 17-year old BMW with only 89K miles. Suspension feels tight as it should.

Cosmetically, there are some small blemishes around the car from daily driving- nothing that paint-less dent removal can’t handle. Front bumper cover was more ratty than I’d like, just replaced with a new one. I’ve owned more than a dozen new and old BMWs over the last decade or so, and this one most certainly sits near the top of the list of my favorites I’ve owned.

Folks- turning the heat up.

I've dropped my price to $14,500 on my 89K mile 2007 328iT ZSP 6MT. Really thought this thing would be gone fairly quickly (most of you seemed to agree), but apparently not!

Make me an offer! Worst I can say is no. Would like to get this thing moved onto a new home in the next week or less. This is a GREAT car and really wish I could keep it long-term, but alas- life happens sometimes.

Man I want this sooo bad. Too bad I live in NE, as I need AWD.. very hard to find single hump cars that actually have other options, especially in a color that isn’t black, white, or grey

A good set of snow tires will go a long way...

FWIW I'm in MA and specifically seeking out a RWD car... no steel subframes to rot on you if you don't get all the salt out of the inside of the thing. Winter tires are a must though, and imho even with AWD, you're going to want real winter tires. I've not yet encountered all-seasons that handle snow competently without also sacrificing hot performance beyond the point of acceptability.

[PunsGalore]

How much do a good set of winter tires cost? Very interested..

[H-Atkinson]

I'm not sure what Michelin's current offerings are in the appropriate wheel size for an E9x, but iirc ~150-200 per tire seems to be the current rate. If you're a Costco member they're constantly running tire sales, usually for Michelins. Got 25% off when I did the rubber on my 996 a few years back.

On a RWD, you also don't need to deal with any transfer case nonsense and/or additional hours of labor when replacing anything underneath the front subframe. A set of winter should make the car at least 80% capable as long as you're not climbing mountains every single day.
